“I saw a Nigerian soldier with an AK-47, following a Chinese (in a blue T-shirt) up and down in the market and doing the work of a maid,” she tweeted.
A Twitter user identified as @NjokuLilian7 has narrated how a Chinese man turned an armed soldier to a maid inside a market in Lagos.
“I saw a Nigerian soldier with an AK-47, following a Chinese (in a blue T-shirt) up and down in the market and doing the work of a maid,” she tweeted.
“The Chinese buys and gives to the "maid" to carry behind him. The "maid" hurries to the car to offload and comes back to his "oga". Shame!”
Many Nigerians have expressed anger over the incident, asking if a Chinese soldier can escort a Nigerian to the market in China.
They also faulted the leadership of the Nigerian Army for prioritising the security of wealthy people and foreign nationals while the poor masses who are in need of protection from robbers and criminals are left unattended.

I can guarantee you 78.9% that this Chinese man doesn't have a valid working visa @nigimmigration. Some of them have expired CERPAC but no one cares.

The thing that is paining me is that back in China, this dwarf might be living in a face me, I face you.. He might be a complete Nobody. But they will enter Naija and be served as gods. They will be seated inside hilux with soldiers, while naija workers are seated in the trunks😡
